Marinex Construction made good progress pumping sand on the beach near Bald Eagle Road in Sea Pines and moved northward. By Friday, they had reached the beach area close to Cedar Waxing Road, depositing over 75,000 cubic yards of sand along the way.
Renourishing South Beach is the last leg of the Town’s Beach Renourishment Project. A total of 750,000 cubic yards of sand will be placed along approximately 10,230 feet of the southern Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
Marinex anticipates completing construction at South Beach by early this summer.
Looking Ahead (May 2-8)
Marinex will continue pumping sand on South Beach. The crew will keep moving north and focus on the section of the beach from Cedar Waxing Road to Surf Scoter Road.
Tilling work in the Central Atlantic Beach area, from Coligny Beach to Singleton Beach, and at Pine Island is still to be completed. Advance notice of that schedule will be provided.
